I spoke about the problem of a framework-first approach to transforming to an agile culture. I also spoke about the plethora of team-based coaches and the insufficiency of management coaching. (I based the talk on Create Your Successful Agile Project, but I didn’t stop there.)

Some of the Q&A was fascinating. I said that we needed to change how people get some of their compensation. I might have left the impression that I advocate only team-based compensation. I do not. However, if we want people to collaborate in teams we need to recognize and reward them for collaborating on the work, offering each other feedback and coaching.
